I stayed one night at the hotel after I returned from Spain. My flight to Houston was the next morning. This hotel worked well for this purpose.

If you're only staying one night, i recommend this place. Clean room, clean bathroom, bring your own towels though, and no smells. Would stay again.

Cute and affordable stay by JFK
This hotel gave us everything we needed for a short stay. Easy access to the subway, closeness to food, and a direct link to JKF.
It gives you your basic necessities and the room service is always on time. The staff is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend for a decent, easygoing stay.
